 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new health tracking device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.
As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the animal health tracking assembly 10 generally comprises a collar 12 that is wearable around a neck 14 of an animal 16 such that the collar 12 is in physical contact with the animal 16. The animal 16 may be a domesticated animal, such as a dog, cat, livestock or any other animal commonly associated with human beings. The collar 12 has a first end 18, a second end 20 and an outer surface 22 extending therebetween. The outer surface 22 has a first side 24 and a second side 26, and the first side 24 abuts the animal's 16 neck 14 when the collar 12 is worn.
The first end 18 is matable to the second end 20 for retaining the collar 12 on the animal 16 's neck 14. A first mating member 28 is coupled to the first end 18 of the collar 12 and a second mating member 30 is coupled to the second end 20 of the collar 12. The second mating member 30 releasably engages the first mating member 28 has the collar 12 forming a closed loop. Each of the first 28 and second 30 mating members may comprise complementary buckles or other type of releasable fasteners.
A control circuit 32 is coupled to the collar 12 and an electronic memory 34 is coupled to the collar 12. The electronic memory 34 is electrically coupled to the control circuit 32 and the electronic memory 34 stores a database. The electronic memory 34 may comprise digital data storage that is sufficiently small to be coupled to the collar 12, such as is employed in a mini SD card or the like.
An allergen detector 36 is coupled to the collar 12 for detecting airborne allergens thereby tracking the animal's 16 exposure to the airborne allergens. The allergen detector 36 is electrically coupled to the control circuit 32. Additionally, the control circuit 32 communicates an identity of the airborne allergens to the electronic memory 34 for storage in the database. In this way the electronic memory 34 can track all of the airborne allergens to which the animal 16 was exposed. Thus, any allergic reactions displayed in the animal 16 can be associated with one of the detected airborne allergens.
A transceiver 38 is coupled to the collar 12 and the transceiver 38 is in wireless electrical communication with a global positioning system (gps). In this way the transceiver 38 receives a physical location of the animal 16 from the gps. The transceiver 38 is electrically coupled to the control circuit 32 such that the physical location of the animal 16 is continuously updated in the database in the electronic memory 34. Moreover, the transceiver 38 may be a radio frequency transceiver or the like and the transceiver 38 may employ a WPAN signal and Bluetooth communication protocols. In this way the transceiver 38 can be synched with an electronic device, such as a Smartphone or the like, thereby facilitating the database in the electronic memory 34 to be downloaded for subsequent analysis.
A hydration monitor 40 is coupled to the collar 12 for sensing the hydration level of the animal 16. The hydration monitor 40 is positioned on the first side 24 of the outer surface 22 of the collar 12. In this way the hydration monitor 40 can be in physical contact with the animal 16. The hydration monitor 40 is electrically coupled to the control circuit 32 and the control circuit 32 communicates the hydration level of the animal 16 to the electronic memory 34.
A heart monitor 42 is coupled to the first collar 12 for sensing the animal 16's heartbeat. The heart monitor 42 is positioned on the first side 24 of the outer surface 22 of the collar 12. In this way the heart monitor 42 can be in physical contact with the animal 16. The heart monitor 42 is electrically coupled to the control circuit 32 and the control circuit 32 communicates the heartbeat to the electronic memory 34.
A display 44 is coupled to the collar 12 and the display 44 is electrically coupled to the control circuit 32. The display 44 displays indicia comprising operational parameters of each of the allergen detector 36, the hydration monitor 40 and the heart monitor 42. The display 44 is positioned on the second side 26 of the outer surface 22 of the collar 12 such that the display 44 is visible to an observer. Moreover, the display 44 may be an LCD or other type of electronic display 44. A power supply 46 is coupled to the collar 12 and the power supply 46 is electrically coupled to the control circuit 32. The power supply 46 is positioned on the second side 26 of the outer surface 22 of the collar 12 and the power supply 46 comprises at least one battery.
In use, the collar 12 is worn around the animal 16's neck 14 such that the heart monitor 42 and the hydration monitor 40 are in physical contact with the animal 16. Thus, the heart monitor 42 detects the animal 16's heartbeat and the hydration monitor 40 detects the animal 16's hydration level. Additionally, the allergen sensor senses the airborne allergens that the animal 16 to which the animal 16 is exposed. In this way the animal 16's physiological condition can be continuously monitored. Moreover, allergic reactions in the animal 16 can be correlated with the airborne allergens that were detected thereby facilitating the animal 16's health to be enhanced. The transceiver 38 facilitates the physical location of the animal 16 to be tracked via gps.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
